VivirLatino’s own Maegan la Mala is at it again, opening her big Puerto Rican mouth to speak truth and no doubt make someone angry. Tonight I will be in Boston, in an event sponsored by the Center for New Words, speaking about Radical Mami’hood.

Radical Mommyhood: A Coversation with Amy Richards and Maegan “Mamita Mala” Ortiz

Arlington St. Church, 351 Boylston St. Entrance, (Corner of Boylston and Arlington), Boston

Join Amy Richards and Maegan “Mamita Mala” Ortiz for a frank conversation on radical mommyhood—how making the decision to have a child impacts who we are and who we want to be (as women, feminists, anti-racists, and artists). We’ll chat about the intersections of feminism and motherhood and how race and class in particular, play an important role in how motherhood is encountered, seen, and experienced.

She is co-founder of the Third Wave Foundation and the feminist speakers bureau Soapbox. She lives in New York City with her family.
